Isn't it funny how a lot of the same colors bloom at the same time? Looking forward to seeing your black & blue salvia in bloom. <br /><br />Only a TRACE of rain out of all that front yesterday, although the wind was furious - gusts over 50. Even though I put 2 huge rocks on my garden bench, the wind kept blowing it over. Also peeled off the trim strips on my bay window and send near-empty rain barrels flying. Good grief.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-76617164520547242662011-04-27T22:17:10.144-05:002011-04-27T22:17:10.144-05:00Nellie Moser is so pretty and one I don't have...Nellie Moser is so pretty and one I don't have. We were at my sister's for Easter and her DH has 7 clematis trellised along their board fence in the back yard. Nellie was blooming and the whole trellis was in flowers-gorgeous!<br /><br />Enjoy your pics.Bev J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18075881108883630511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-49811009185106426412011-04-27T19:26:33.744-05:002011-04-27T19:26:33.744-05:00You have beautiful flowers!

It's very pretty. I wish the sun would come out and stay out a while. This ole dreary, cool weather is getting right down depressing! I know it could be worse.

Clematis is one of my favorite climbing flowers and that one is gorgeous. I planted some seed the last two years but no luck.

No idea what happened, but it's completely gone now, but seeing yours instantly brought back the gorgeous scent.

I hope you don't get any of the nasty weather they are predicting.<br /><br />Wowee, the size of that clematis is amazing. I love the color too and I don't mind seeing flying critters on flowers at all.<br /><br />I should make another batch of those oatmeal cookies. I'm planning to make some banana oatmeal muffins with a recipe I've got but never tried.<br /><br />Have a nice afternoon and evening ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-43206039684764711342011-04-27T11:42:52.158-05:002011-04-27T11:42:52.158-05:00I guess I really need to get used to calling plant...I guess I really need to get used to calling plants by their horticultural name. I thought I recognized Hesperis and looked it up. Sure enough, Dame's Rocket! I had a good stand of it two summers ago and it was WON-DER-FUL. You can't get any closer to lilacs without being lilacs than Dame's Rocket does! Heh.<br /><br />I've also often wondered about the Dead Nettle you keep cutting down. Looked that one up too and I see that it's Henbit. Boy, I hear ya!!! That stuff's all over my place. <br /><br />Our storm is over till Saturday, when they say we might get some more. I've been scattering seeds like crazy in between rains.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-55316521973930678812011-04-27T11:28:20.704-05:002011-04-27T11:28:20.704-05:00That is the largest clematis flower I have ever se...That is the largest clematis flower I have ever seen! I have Hesperis, too, and just let it travel about the place willy-nilly. You may be having rain again by now. There seems to be another front coming on. I guess that is the thunder you were hearing. Our weather alert system sounded out a few minutes after I got in bed last night. I got up and checked the weather TV channel, decided it wasn't that bad and crawled back in. Wish we could save all this extra rain for later use. I enjoyed your post. Seems you and the calf are both getting plenty of milk.
